CHAPTER 457: CHAPTER 453: MASTER AMONG MASTERS

"Who the hell are you?" Earth Wolf stopped five meters away from the masked man.

The masked man also looked at Earth Wolf, sneering coldly, said nothing, and did not initiate an attack, seemingly not a vicious thug.

"Damn, are you fucking mute or what?" Earth Wolf said frantically, pointing at the masked man.

Earth Wolf’s temperament is straightforward and outspoken, very much like Lin Mu’s character, but it was obvious that the masked man was not one for words. He just glared at Earth Wolf, "Chubby boy, you’d better behave, don’t piss me off, or I’ll take you down!"

"Damn, do you think I’m made of clay or paper? Even if you’re so damn awesome, Master Fatty won’t let you off!" Earth Wolf cursed loudly. In his life, except for his boss Lin Mu, he’s never been afraid of anyone, no matter how skilled they were.

"Fat bastard, you don’t know what’s good for you, you’re just asking for it!"

"Fuck, besides my boss, no one dares to call me a fat bastard!" Earth Wolf suddenly got angry. For him, being called a fat bastard was a humiliating insult.

Earth Wolf isn’t someone who bullies the weak or fears the strong; if anyone dares to insult him, he must go all out with them. So Earth Wolf shouted angrily and swung his arms to fight the masked man.

"Overestimating yourself!" The masked man’s skills were indeed extraordinary. As soon as he made a move, he accurately found Earth Wolf’s flaw. Facing Earth Wolf’s Iron Fist, the masked man’s slightly thin frame shifted slightly, and he grabbed Earth Wolf’s wrist with a backhand move!

The masked man might look skinny, but his strength seemed boundless. He firmly held Earth Wolf’s wrist, and no matter how hard Earth Wolf shook, the masked man remained motionless, as if nailed to the ground!

"Fat bastard, I know your skills aren’t bad, but you’re not quite on my level!" The masked man said confidently, gently flicking Earth Wolf’s wrist and tossing him over two meters away. Earth Wolf stumbled to a stop, filled with shock, reluctantly admitting that this masked man’s skills seemed to have reached a peak level, probably not even two of him could match up!

"I’ll spare your life today; we may not be so lucky next time we meet!" The masked man said and turned, disappearing into the night.

"Phew!" After the masked man left, Earth Wolf couldn’t help but take a deep breath, rubbing his wrist. The masked man just now was too fierce; if he wanted to kill him, it would have been easy!

"Who could this masked man be?" Earth Wolf frowned, racking his brain but coming up with no answer. The person was clearly not from Liu’s Company, otherwise, he wouldn’t have let him off so easily. But if not from Liu’s Company, why appear at this time to help Liu’s Company?

Earth Wolf patted his somewhat simple noggin, unable to make sense of it, "Damn it, forget it, I’ll ask the boss tomorrow and maybe find out!" Earth Wolf cursed himself, got in his car, and headed to his place.

Meanwhile, let’s talk about White Tiger and his four great masters, who were also driving back to East City, to Liu Zhenyun’s residence. The sound of brakes filled the air as their car stopped in the courtyard. The four great masters were somewhat better off, each having sustained light injuries, not suffering much under Earth Wolf’s torment, but White Tiger wasn’t so lucky. Though rescued in time by the masked man, Earth Wolf still left White Tiger nearly breathless!

Thankfully, White Tiger had a solid foundation; otherwise, he would have long perished. So, White Tiger was indeed a tough guy. Liu Zhenyun saw the four great masters supporting the returning White Tiger and knew things had gone wrong again!

"What happened?" Liu Zhenyun asked, somewhat surprised, looking at White Tiger. This was unimaginable before, as White Tiger’s skills were unmatched throughout Nanyue. He didn’t expect to come to Wancheng and be beaten into a pulp by an unknown figure, not only failing to deal with a mere Earth Wolf but also suffering severe internal injuries. It made sense he didn’t defeat him, but being injured by Lin Mu’s subordinate puzzled Liu Zhenyun; didn’t they even have a chance to escape?

White Tiger leaned on the sofa, clutching his chest, "Boss, I was incompetent; we underestimated Earth Wolf’s abilities. He’s indeed a master. It was our lightheartedness, not attacking together, that led to our downfall!"

"So how did you escape?" Liu Zhenyun asked.

"We... we were rescued by a masked master, whose skills are above ours, a top-notch expert. Without him, tonight might have ended in Earth Wolf’s hands!" White Tiger replied.

"A masked expert?" Liu Zhenyun frowned, puzzled.

"That’s right; judging by his skills, two or three of me wouldn’t be his match. Boss, don’t you know such a master?" White Tiger asked.

Liu Zhenyun frowned tightly, wondering how he could know such a master. If he did, he would have had him take out Lin Mu long ago, why bother bringing White Tiger and the others here!

"I don’t know. I’m puzzled as to why he would rescue you out of nowhere," Liu Zhenyun wondered aloud.

"I’m not sure either; the expression on his face seemed like he recognized us, but we don’t know him at all. Plus, he wore a mask, clearly not wanting anyone to see his true face. Boss, who do you think it could be?"

"I’m not sure who it could be, just that he’s not our enemy, which is good. Since he saved you, it indicates he’s our friend. That’s a relief. Seeing you’ve suffered serious internal injuries, go back to your room and rest. We can’t do without you for the next steps!" Liu Zhenyun said.

White Tiger nodded, "Sure. Boss, I’ll go rest first!"

With a word, the four great masters supported White Tiger back to the room. Now, only Liu Zhenyun remained in the hall, lighting a big cigar as he contemplated White Tiger’s account.

It seems like there’s another group of people in the shadows. As for their purpose, Liu Zhenyun’s unsure. But he gets the gist: they definitely have a grudge with Lin Mu. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have rescued White Tiger. According to their words, the opponent is indeed a top-notch expert. If so, that’s great; having such a master to deal with Lin Mu would make things much easier!

However, Liu Zhenyun understood that the masked man’s rescue of White Tiger wasn’t simply a favor. He surely has other purposes and might approach him next. Whether or not he does, as long as he can take on Lin Mu, Liu Zhenyun would consider him a friend, even if it costs him a fortune...
